I have no opinion on either of these. I may have heard em at one point, but I honestly can't remember.

Perhaps unfairly biased, Heep is easier to air guitar and sing along to in the car than Squire.

Salisbury for me.

At school cafeterias I was more partial to salisbury steak burgers than fish sticks (neither doing us kids much favor in the health and taste department), so yeah, same with the music.

Salisbury.Thumbs Up

bah.. tired of sitting.

Going with the sentimental over quality.  Two moments of brilliance on Salisbury give it my vote over the more consistent but not quite as fiery FOOW.  Hey. I'm an ELP fan. Consistency isn't what drives my bus.. give me great heights... and I can forgive the times it then may fall a bit short.

Two moments of brilliance ? Presumably instrumental ? I find myself listening to bits and piecs of Salisbury thinking to myself, "hey this is OK, nice playing". Then that 'orrible 'orrible Byron fellow has to open his bloody mouth. Man that is simply awful. 'uckin terrible. I'd rather listen to Mercury or even Plant. Oh well, marching out of step with the rest of humanity is probably what I do best but I have simply never understood why the guy with his goolies caught in a threshing machine sound is so popular.

So even if I didn't like FOOW , which I do, I'd have to vote for it. It's a nice album though like the solo work of many member's of great bands it does luck that certain dynamic that made e.g the best of Yes so glorious.

The Park and Lady in Black... pure brilliance IMO.

Good tracks, both of them but neither have the thresher vocals.

Particularly LIB.

Ha, reminds me of the scene in Bambi, where Bambi says flower to the skunk, Thumper is laughing at the idea and the skunk says: "That's alright, he can call me flower is he wants to"
Not that I call you a skunk, mind you

The Park is great, but I can't listen to that two-chord song Lady in Black anymore.

Bird of Prey and Salisbury are also powerful tracks.

well, this is one of the band's more varied records.

Love both the harder and the softer parts.

Chris Squire, Fish Out of Water.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Absolutely. Pretty obviously I'm no great fan of Byron's vocals but yep, great tracks and hey I'm a sentimental enough old codger. LOL  Thankfully we don't all like the same things. Oh my now that would be tragic.

I think my review says it all, though I also like the Heep album.

Uriah Heep - Salisbury 
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life
